The successor to bean-report is beanquery. At one point (with v2) it was part of Beancount, but now it's an independent tool. It's much more powerful and flexible than bean-report.
You can install beanquery from here: https://pypi.org/project/beanquery/ The problem is, the only documentation that exists is from when Martin was experimenting with the idea and publishing the first versions/drafts: https://beancount.github.io/docs/beancount_query_language.html Most of what is written there is still valid, but beanquery has grown quite a bit since then, and the documentation for all the new features is basically non-existent, unless you start digging in this mailing list and in GitHub issues. The release of Beancount v3 in its current form somehow made things significantly more difficult for new users like you, because there are lots of things that are not documented, or have incomplete documentation. The maintainers of each subproject don't have much time these days, and we as a community have not stepped in to help with that either. So IMO you have two options: a) keep using beancount v3, install beanquery, and learn a bit of BQL (Beancount Qurey Language) from the doc I linked above, and also searching here in the mailing this. This is the officially recommended path. Beancount v3 and Beanquery are the future, anyway. But right now there are several rough edges, and the learning curve is a bit steeper than it should, mainly because the lack of documentation and examples b) install beancount v2, which includes bean-report (and the first version of beanquery build-in), use that, and revisit the v3 ecosystem in a few months. If you go down this path, please be aware that beancount v2 is EOL, so to speak, and it won't receive any new features or improvements at this point. But it still works perfectly fine. I'm still using Beancount v2 because I can't use Beancount without Fava. And yes, I know it's technically possible (and not that difficult) to install Beancount v3 and Fava in separate virtual environments sharing the same files, but it's not that Beancount v3 is receiving lots and lots of features and is in active development either, so there's really no incentive for me to change my perfectly working workflow with Beancount v2 + Fava.
